Liz Koh: Enriched Retirement Founder on health insurance in New Zealand, if employers should pay for it - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Should your job provide health insurance coverage? 

There are calls for a fringe benefit tax break as a Council report reveals people are twice as likely to have car insurance than life or health. 

It says 78% of Kiwis pay for their own insurance, rather than employers footing the bill. 

Enriched Retirement Founder Liz Koh told Andrew Dickens that New Zealanders tend to think they’re bulletproof, and they don’t tend to put health insurance at the top of their priority list. 

She says that if you don’t have good health, it impacts your ability to work, and employers have a vested interest in making sure their employees are healthy.
